mackenzie dern explains her bjj gimmick

[Toad Frogan]

She prefers the Rio card over the place where she lives. hmmmmmm. that explains why she has that accent. so obvious...she sees herself as a brazilian...

She consciously changed her dialect 3 years ago from speaking American English to broken English with a thick Portuguese accent. It was like a switch.

Wasn't that fight something like a 1-0 decision because Dern did nothing except pull guard all match long?

EDIT: Turns out it was 0-0, but Garcia had a penalty. Dern has also fought Garcia several other times, and her total record against her is 1-4.

To be fair Garcia is 250lbs roided to the gills, I think surviving to a decision at 120lbs is an achievement

In 2013 she talked like a girl from Arizona. In 2014 she talked like a girl from Hio de Janeiro.

She's not an anonymous person. There is video of her speaking throughout the last 8 years. It didn't develop over time. Some time in late 2013 she made a decision to pretend to have an accent, for whatever reason.

Just because that is plainly obvious to some of us, and we care to point it out, doesn't mean we're assholes or triggered. It says more about the people arguing that it's not fake. You're just difficult for no reason.

This 110%.

"Hio De Janeiro"

was that music from fucking Super Mario RPG at 16 seconds?


sounds super familiar but i can't place it.

That is in the frog pound, I think it's a remix when Mallow got depressed and realize he wasn't a frog IIRC

The accent thing makes me figure she has a fake personality and when combined with all the selfies I'm sure she's completely vapid but.. dat ass

 

[IsNormal]

So interesting.
She had a bit of a brazilian rhythm to her speech even back in 2011.
But starting from 2014 is when her accent really changed dramatically, in my ears.

But during the first interview with Ariel she really sounded like a true fucking portuguese speaker with broken english
Not just with the Werdum-style "for sure" thrown in everywhere.
But even to the point like it sounded she was having slight language problems.

I turned the video off when she said ppl thought she was too cute for MMA

 

[7even]

Her real accent is British.

Imagine DJ trying to fight stipe. just imagine how that would go...

 

[Squintz]

She is much like an actor doing an accent for a role..she's playing a role...not sure why though...many many actors can do accents or even take away their normal accents...russel crowe for example has a big time Australian accent normally, but in the movies he has no accent....what she is doing is totally on purpose.

People don't like fake accents

Unless it’s a really good American accent.

Imagine what it's like to spend hours of your time looking up old interviews of barely relevant MMA fighters to analyze their accent and make determinations on whether or not you think its fake.

 

[Deleted member 158611]

Dern is a joke. I won‘t support somebody who pretends to be somebody else. I know people who have lived abroad for years and who haven‘t developped such an accent.

Overeem used to pretend he was a clean fighter.

Imagine how idiotic and superficial a human being has to be to pretend that they're something that they aren't

That may be so; but who is more idiotic, the basic idiot who is a savant in a martial art, or the guy who fixates on their idiocy on a public forum for hours?

Depends on what you mean...fixates for hours? Or just comments on the topic when they see a thread on it?

Unless it’s a really good American accent.

Brad Dourif (voiced Chucky) was on one of the Lords of the Rings movies where he had an English accent and apparently after his scene when he spoke normally (American), the majority of the cast were in shock. Actors are an exception (or is it acception? I've been drinking....)

dat fake accent... sliding into Brazilian legacy ....

 

[JT RIPPER]

Someone actually took the time to trace the “evolution” of her accent?

Someone call the cops, that’s some next level stalker shit right there

such a good game, must have replayed it like 5 times, except now when i try to replay it on my emulator it always freezes after you beat jonathan jones or after the rangers.
